ShareThis

In October 2018, ShareThis, a social media share button provider, experienced a data leak that compromised the personal information of nearly 41 million users. The leaked data included names, email addresses, and IP addresses, as well as website browsing history and other sensitive information.

The leak occurred due to a vulnerability in ShareThiss code, which allowed hackers to access the companys database and download the user data. The breach was initially reported by Gizmodo, which obtained a copy of the leaked data from a whistleblower.

The ShareThis leak is one of the largest data breaches in history and exposed the personal information of millions of internet users. It is a reminder of the importance of protecting personal data online and of the potential risks associated with using third-party services.
